Error when starting Stanza Desktop
Wed, 01/14/2009 - 01:35 — Anonymous
I'm getting an error when trying to start Stanza Desktop. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, and same thing: Here's the error:
"Error occured while starting the application...
no such file or directory."
It worked first time after initial install. After that I haven't been able to get it to start again. Any suggestions?

No, the program didn't get moved after installing. After uninstalling there is not a stanza folder left. This happened once before, and the only way I could get it to work again was to completely reinstall windows (which I do not want to do again).
You certainly should not
You certainly should not resort to reinstalling Windows. I will look into this, but it might take some time. Post again if I don't respond again soon. In the meantime, can you uninstall, reboot, then reinstall? Maybe something is being cached somewhere that will get cleared if you reboot.
